BRASILIA, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Brazil’s argument in a trade dispute with Canada will be helped by a World Trade Organization (WTO) ruling that European nations had provided unfair subsidies to Airbus Group SE, a senior official at Brazil’s Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday.

Carlos Cozendey, undersecretary for economic affairs, said Canadian government support for Bombardier Inc had helped the planemaker win a major order from Delta Air Lines Inc over Brazilian rival Embraer SA. (Reporting by Alonso Soto; Editing by Chris Reese; Writing by Brad Haynes)
